"I maintain that that solution space cannot be reduced to a single
solution but only to an acceptable collection of solutions.   Only you
can decide how close is close enough, or whether it is important at
all."

... that's what I've done. Now, after personal experience, I've extrapolated
that my revs per mile for my current tire dia. are too few, so I'm changing
engines. It's a little on the expensive side, but a fun experiment and very
easy to sell the current engine and put in a new one that deals with the
load
of my revs per mile better.

bob ... is this actually a disguised tire thread? ;-)
